The settings that worked for me. "Focus Area" set to "Wide". Go to Setup , page 5 " Touch Operation". Make sure " Touch Operation" is set to "On" . I have "Touch / Pad" set to "Both valid". " Touch Position Mode" set to " Absolute Position". Under Touch Pad settings, select 'Operation Area" as " Whole Screen". "Touch Func. in shooting" should be " Touch Focus". Each time after you start remote shooting on the iphone/ipad app, you must touch on the camera LCD panel. This will enable the touch operation on the app.

The worst app ever, not sure what the problem is but I get it connected for about 20 seconds, Iphone 11 max pro with A7V, but it does not allow me to take a picture and then disconnects every 10 seconds. This happened to me on my FX3 also and thought the wifi in the FX3 was broken. But it just makes me think this app is trash or something is not set up properly. Why the heck would it disconnect every 10-15 seconds and you id not show how to use it to trigger the camera. I imagine it is the round thing at the bottom, but when clicking/pressing that, it does not take an image?? And then when trying to connect again my phone asks me to join the A74 network again and again then says not able to join the network.. Any suggestions? I just want to use the app to trigger the camera, I do not even want my pictures to go to my phone. I guess I will just have to buy a cheap bluetooth trigger. I am wondering why your phone does not ask to join the A74 network like mine does every time. Every time I try to connect through the app a screen comes up asking me to join the network on my camera. Is there anyway of just connecting through bluetooth. ?
